SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Committed to changing the world one listener at a time, SOL REPUBLIC and
tokidoki fuse art with music to create two new Tracks HD on-ear
headphones, designed by acclaimed artist Simone Legno of global
lifestyle brand tokidoki. Featuring SOL REPUBLIC’s signature
interchangeability, amazing sound, and virtually indestructible design,
these two exclusive Tracks HD headphones integrate colors, characters
and trendsetting designs that are signature tokidoki.

Simone Legno: An Artist Inspired by Music

Since debuting in 2005, tokidoki has amassed a cult-like following for
its larger-than-life characters and emerged as a sought-after global
lifestyle brand and SOL REPUBLIC’s two new tokidoki and TKDK Tracks HD
headphones were personally designed by Simone Legno, tokidoki’s creative
director and co-founder. Simone’s art is inspired by his favorite bands
and he shares the music he used to inspire him while he designed the
tokidoki and TKDK headphones exclusively on his Savior Of Sound page on
SOLREPUBLIC.com.

Kevin Lee, SOL REPUBLIC co-founder and CEO, said: “I instantly became a
fan of Simone’s work on a chance visit to his store in New York. It was
Japanese-inspired with an edge, surprisingly from an Italian artist that
spoke to the young and young at heart. This special genre that Simone
has created is one-of-a-kind and is inspired by music, just like all SOL
REPUBLIC headphones, which makes this a very special collaboration for
us.”

Simone Legno, Creative Director of tokidoki, says: “Music hasalways
been a major influence in my life and my artwork. SOL REPUBLIC and
tokidoki share a mutual dedication for product and design innovation.
These headphones not only have amazing sound but are a way to take your
tokidoki art everywhere."

Interchangeable Headbands and Cables for Endless Looks

Like all SOL REPUBLIC headphones, the tokidoki and TKDK Tracks HD models
offer unique interchangeable SoundTrack headbands and cables, allowing
users to create endless custom styles featuring many of the favorite
characters from tokidoki culture. The tokidoki headphone features a pink
color inset on the headband and a white cable, while the TKDK version
features a deep-purple logo inset, black cable and a darker character
inset on the headband.Each tokidoki and TKDK headphone also
comes with a custom tokidoki bag and punkstar™ frenzie collectible toy.
For an even more custom headphone, the virtually indestructible FlexTech™
headbands and detachable cables, are completely interchangeable with
all other SOL REPUBLIC Tracks products, including its Remix line of
separate headbands and cables available in a rainbow of color options.

Powerful v10 Sound Engines Deliver SOL REPUBLIC’s Signature Sound

The striking style, along with the interchangeability and nearly
indestructible design that is the signature of SOL REPUBLIC’s Tracks
headphones are all features found in the tokidoki and TKDK headphones.
But at the core of both headphones is amazing sound from the advanced
v10 SOL REPUBLIC Sound Engines that deliver deep and controlled bass,
clear and present vocals and highs, which is ideal for punk and
electronic dance music found is Simone’s playlist.

The SOL REPUBLIC tokidoki and TKDK headphones are available now at
SOLREPUBLIC.com, tokidoki.it
and FYE stores nationwide in early March for $149.99 MSRP.
